Juni gave Naerin a long look as the girl stepped out of the shower. Naerin hummed gently to herself while looking at the clothes sitting on her bed, taking much longer than usual to pick out an outfit. Juni knew Naerin well enough to know that Naerin rarely cared too much about what outfits she wore.

She usually picked the first pair of pants and shirt that matched together and would call it a day from there. Today though, Naerin had called Juni over to help her pick out an outfit. Juni already placed a few options for Naerin to pick from and after changing into one of them, she went back into the bathroom to blow dry her hair.

When Naerin stepped out of the bathroom for a second time, Juni cleared her throat.

"So, what's gotten into you?" she asked Naerin

"Nothing," Naerin smiled and went to her mirror to start doing her makeup.

"You never blow dry your hair," Juni pointed out, "And you never ask for my opinion on clothes," When Naerin didn't respond right away, Juni sighed, "You're going on a date with Jisung, aren't you?"

Naerin stopped doing her makeup and looked back at Juni with a bright smile. "Did I make it obvious?"

Juni smiled as Naerin turned back to her mirror to finish her makeup. Naerin was a typically bright and cheerful person, but it was the first time Juni had seen Naerin so bubbly for little to no reason.

"You really like him," Juni remarked.

"I do," Naerin agreed, "I wish you could meet him, he's really sweet,"

Juni shook her head, "I would but I'm sure there are some crazy rules or something for being an idol's soulmate. You guys are being careful on this date right?"

Naerin nodded, "It's a restaurant that Jisung said his older group members have gone to often with their soulmates. His managers have already said that we can go as well, so it shouldn't be a problem,"

When she finished with her makeup, Naerin turned around to look at Juni with a bright expression. "How do I look?" she asked her friend.

Juni stood up from Naerin's bed and started to go through her makeup. She picked up a clear lipgloss and applied it to Naerin's lips for her, nodding her head when she finished. Naerin beamed at Juni afterward, reminding Juni of a little sister that had just received a reward for being good.

"Perfect," Juni said, "You look perfect,"

At that moment, Naerin's phone started buzzing and she saw that she had received a bunch of messages from Jisung saying he was at her apartment to pick her up.

"He's here," Naerin said to Juni as she started to head for the doors to put her shoes on. Juni followed as well and put her shoes on. "I'll see you later!" she said with a wave as she started running to the elevator.

Juni was Naerin's neighbor and lived on the same floor as her. She waved to Naerin as she rushed away. Juni was glad that Naerin had found her soulmate. She had never seen her happier.

"You can drive?" Naerin asked as she hopped into the passenger seat of Jisung's car.

"I just got my license recently," Jisung explained, "But yes, contrary to popular believe, I can drive,"

Once buckled Naerin gave Jisung a skeptical look, "You're not going to kill me right?"

Jisung side glanced at her, a glare set on his face as he started to pull out of the parking lot.

"Do you really have that little confidence in me?" he huffed.
